ETA April 2009: I know it's a million years later but I updated this with a non-shit photograph so I could make prints and show it a bit bigger. I'm not as fond of this piece as I used to be, but I do think it's really a big stepping stone of my artistic career, and I know so many people liked it :' ) Thank you all for your lovely comments.
hey, it's more schoolwork! and a lame title to boot!
this was my drawing II final~ we got to do whatever we wanted, so i opted for some nice tasty watercolor illustration. i got inspired to do this concept (and it took me such a long time to get an idea, i was very frustrated) because a cardinal sideswiped my head. i love cardinals but damn.
i used myself as a reference for the sketch, which was done at 3 am the night before it was due (what did i tell you? frustration!)
mixed media~ dumpster cardboard (yay), watercolor, old tea, graphite and collage.
art (c) me no birdies were hurt in the making of this art. just my eye, as i squinted into the compact mirror in a dimly lit room.
omg steph this is the MOST AMAZING PIECE OF ART YOU HAVE EVER DONE and most amazing I have ever seeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <33333 omg I love it so much you have no idea.
I love the expression of the face, its SO awesome, it really looks like hes trying to squint and get it right <33
and I love the little strips of paper under the paint, and the teaaaa <333 omg. it's just the best piece ever; ; you're so good with water colors. you should do more<333 jeez this piece just makes me so speechless

fabulous. ; x ; the birds are positively intrigued by the cardinal and the idea behind it is marvelous. you use color so well and there's just not a thing in here that I don't just love. <3
thank you for the lovely comments ; 3; i'm so glad you liked it
funny story, i had two cups of tea, one to drink while i painted and one to use for paint. at one point i realized my brush was in my drinking cup T__T but i'm still here so i guess i didn't poison myself xD;;
wish i could see a bigger view of this. i love the splattering and the birds. i have the same problem w/school projects too. -___-;;; it's not like i don't try, just that i'm more creative under super high pressure. i'm surprised i've not failed out of school yet. @____@;
-- i saw someone today who jerked my heartstrings, and i felt someone touch my soul... whenever i see you, i feel as if my very being is calling out to you.. this void..how come i never realized it till i met you?
this is really itneresting... i like the concept: the guy painting birds... and the way you painted makes it look so cool, with those colors and with so much texture.
it is rather small and icky x .x maybe i'll reupload it with a bigger picture. xD
yeah, i hear ya on the creative thing~
*hugs* i hope you have a better time this year in school x33 chin up!
DUDE!~ this is. well, kick ass simple (I know, so descriptive )
The colours, tones and texture are all so eye catching and pretty.
It reminds me of older style paintings you find in Chinese restaurants - the ultra pretty water colour ones.
Fav+ most defiantly <3
